Addiction

i need help with a research project on addiction, and i need information. where can i go to get information on whether or not addiction is a disease?
For a professional's opinion, you can start by reviewing this article Addiction is a Brain Disease by Alan Leshner, MD.

Let me know if this helps.
Another good place to look is the Narcotics Anonymous Basic Text. It states in there that addiction is a disease made up of 2 parts - obssession and compulsion
look up ibogaine therapy
it might give your research an interesting spin...
